    Any router that can run custom firmware like DDWRT or OpenWRT is recomended. People frequently recomend the Linksys WRT54GL or the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. Its also possible that you would be able to flash your Zyxel or Netgear with custom firmware as a couple of their models are compatiable and would then offer tons of customization.

    That being said I've never seen a router that could only support port forwarding to a single port at a time, and I've used some seriously crap routers. Are you certain that you are setting up the port forwarding correctly?

    Hi all,

    I just noticed a very important line the conversation feed there from someone that router only routes EXTERAL traffic. I have been testing internally all along and presumed it wasnt working. But I got a friend to test the audio stream and it is working fine.....

    What a waste of at least 5 hours testing ....DOH!
